By Israel Shamir

Like the Four Riders of the
Apocalypse, the unknown
kamikaze rode their giant
crafts into the two visible
symbols of American world
domination, Wall Street and
the Pentagon. They vanished in
flames and smoke, and
we do not yet know who they
were. They could be
practically anybody: American
Nationalists, American
Communists, American
Fundamentalist Christians,
American Anarchists, anybody
who rejects the twin gods
of the dollar and the M-16, who
hates the stock market
and interventions overseas, who
dreams of America for
Americans, who does not want to
support the drive for
world domination. They could be
Native Americans
returning to Manhattan, or
Afro-Americans who still have
not received compensation for
slavery.

They could be foreigners of
practically any extraction, as
Wall Street and the Pentagon
ruined many lives of people
all over the globe. Germans can
remember the fiery
holocaust of Dresden with its
hundreds of thousands of
peaceful refugees incinerated
by the US Air Force.
Japanese will not forget the
nuclear holocaust of
Hiroshima. The Arab world still
feels the creeping
holocaust of Iraq and
Palestine. Russians and East
Europeans feel the shame of
Belgrade avenged. Latin
Americans think of American
invasions of Panama and
Granada, of destroyed Nicaragua
and defoliated Colombia.
Asians count their dead of
Vietnam war, Cambodia
bombings, Laos CIA operations
in millions. Even a
pro-American, Russian TV
broadcaster could not refrain
from saying, 'now Americans
begin to understand the
feelings of Baghdad and
Belgrade'.

The Riders could be anybody who
lost his house to the
bank, who was squeezed from his
work and made
permanently unemployed, who was
declared an
Untermensch by the new
Herrenvolk. They could be
Russians, Malaysians,
Indonesians, Pakistanis, Congolese,
as their economy was destroyed
by Wall Street and the
Pentagon. They could be
anybody, and they are
everybody. Their identity is
quite irrelevant, but the Jews
already decided: it has to be
Arabs.

One would think, after
Oklahoma, we should become less
hasty with our conclusions. But
my countrymen, Israeli
politicians are impatient folk.
The flames in Manhattan did
not die out yet, they started
political profit taking. Mr
Ehud Barak came live on BBC,
and said 'Arafat' within
three minutes flat. On CNN, his
twin Bibi Natanyahu
appropriated the blame to
Arabs, Muslims, Palestinians.
Shimon Peres, an old wizened
wizard, spoke against
suicide as a psychiatric
adviser, reminding his audience of
Palestinian attacks. He looked
worried: it is hard to
enslave people who are not
afraid to die. This old killer of
Kana even mentioned Gospels.
Density of Israelis on the
air approached the saturation
point. They insinuated and
incited, pushing their shopping
list into a chalk-white face
of shell-shocked America:
please, destroy Iran! And Iraq!
And Libya, plees!

The first twenty four hours of
maximal exposure were
utilised by the Jewish
propaganda machine to its utmost.
Not a single fact was yet
known, but racist anti-Arab
slurs became a commonplace.
While we Jews quite
reasonably object to any
reference to the Jewishness of
a bad guy, we really do not
mind producing revolting
racist drivel of our own. A
good Jewish-American activist,
James Jordan, warned in
al-Awda: "Making broad,
all-inclusive statements and
insinuations about "Jews"
completely marginalizes and
discredits your organization".
But how come the endless stream
of 'broad, all-inclusive
statements and insinuations',
about 'the Arabs' did not
'completely marginalized and
discredited' the Jewish
organisations and media who
practice it? Apparently, it is
a Jewish right to decide who
will be marginalized in
America and who will not.

The connection was in the
minds. The American Jewish
supremacists want to turn all
the world into Palestine,
where the natives will enjoy
harsh local rule and limited
local rights, while the master
race will have a rather
different level of life. Israel
is just a small-scale model of
their new brave world of
globalisation.

As there were no hard facts
against Palestinians, the
Israelis made their damnedest
from the scenes of joy
shot in East Jerusalem. It is a
rather weak point, and I'll
tell you why. In Agatha
Christie's Murder on the Orient
Express, her favourite
detective M. Poireau encounters
an unusual complication: all
passengers on board the
train have had a good reason to
bump off the unpleasant
old lady. My dear American
friends, your leaders placed
your great country into the old
lady's shoes.

Israelis used the event to the
max. They even killed some
ten Palestinians and destroyed
five Goyiish houses in
Jerusalem. The reports were
rather gleeful, in the style
'we told you', and the experts
of Israeli TV concluded by
one o'clock, the attack 'was
good for the Jews'. Why? It
would strengthen American
support of Israel.

The kamikaze attack could do
exactly that. America
could enter a new cycle of
violence in its troubled
relations with the world.
Revenge will follow revenge,
until one of the sides will be
obliterated by nuclear blast.
It appears president Bush
prefers this course. He
declared war on his and
Israel's adversaries. Bush did not
even understand that the war
was declared by the US
many years ago, only now it
started to come home. So
many people are sick of
America's ham-fisted approach,
that the countdown for the next
attack began.

Alternatively, America could
see this painful strike at her
Wall Street and her Pentagon,
as the last call to repent.
She should change her advisers,
and build her relations
with the world afresh, on equal
footing. Probably she
should rule in the
domination-obsessed Jewish
supremacist elites of Wall
Street and media, part
company with the apartheid
Jewish state. She could
become again the universally
loved, rather parochial
America of Walt Whitman and
Thomas Edison, Henry Ford
and Abe Lincoln.
